Flickering LED Bulbs
As I have replaced the number plate to Festoon LED bulbs and the rear turn signal bulbs with the 6ohms resistance installed. I found out that while warming up the car and while all lights are off, both the Festoon and the turn signals flicker every 30-50 seconds!!
I am sure that the MOST system on the A6 send signal to check the validity of the bulbs and it is interpreted as light signal (perhaps)!
Is is with all who have upgraded to LEDs?

Didn't happen to mine but I remember when I first upgraded that the A6 system checks first to
see if there are any variations in the system. If it detects a condition that is outside of what is determined to be 'normal' it cuts the power to that circuit. When I first installed my LEDs, the system would cut the power. I initially thought that the new LED bulb was defective. I swapped the factory bulbs in and it was perfect. I couldn't use the resistors because they are not meant for continuous use and actually would get burning hot. Pulled the resistors and looking at your experience, they may not be able to be used in turn signals either. The A6 system is very sensitive.
